General Mobile StoreOid app store preview

For those of you looking for a non-Google source of applications for your Android powered smartphone, General Mobile recently started showing off its StoreOid app store. While it is to come pre-installed on General Mobile’s own Android powered devices, the store will function on just about any Android 1.6 or later smartphone once it is released to the general public.

I tested it out on a few Android 2.1 devices, such as the LG Ally and DROID Incredible, and it worked fine. To give you an idea what it looks like, however, I thought it fitting to shoot photos of it running on General Mobile’s own DSTL1 device (which I upgraded to Android 1.6).

StoreOid only supports free applications at this moment, but General Mobile has plans to add credit card and direct carrier billing in the near future.
